It may be a sad day for the human world, but the furry, feathered, and four-legged friends across the rainbow bridge have welcomed another bright star.

Diane Keaton wasn’t just a celebrated actor: She was also a kind soul and true friend of 𝘈𝘯𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘦 being featured on a cover in our early years. Diane served on the board of the Helen Woodward Animal Center for many years, she dedicated her whole life to animal welfare issues, including championing adoption and advocating for protections for wildcats, wildlife, farm animals, and animals in the entertainment industry. Rest in peace Diane and thank you for all that you did to help animals.

Through a Cat’s Eyes 🐱💫

Cats don’t just see the world — they sense it on a whole new level.

👂 Hearing: They pick up sounds up to 5 times sharper than humans, even the tiniest rustle in another room.
👃 Smell: Their sense of smell is so powerful, they can recognize you by scent alone.
👀 Vision: In low light, their eyes amplify even the faintest glow — turning darkness into daylight.

Every whisker twitch, ear flick, and wide-eyed stare tells a story. Understanding these senses helps you build a stronger, more trusting bond with your cat. 💛
